60. Siamese Dream - The Smashing Pumpkins
64. Closer - Joy Division
Since all of mine are so high on the charts, what are my top three oversights? I’ll listen to the most selected ones this week or next. |
Well, The Bends is probably my favorite Radiohead album, or at least the first I gave a chance and fell in love with. My introduction to Radiohead. Thom’s best vocal performance and the band’s best “rock” output.
The Wall was at one point my favorite Floyd album and is also one of the albums that exposed me to classic rock and 70s prog - some people think it has too much filler - I don’t agree
Joshua Tree is my favorite from U2, although it took me until a few weeks ago to give it a thorough listen.
Zeppelin II is my all time favorite Zep album - it’s so good...
Pearl Jam Ten is the quintessential grunge album and the pinnacle of Pearl Jam imo - but to me it comes off as a little corny or boring at times. Basically a really solid hard rock album with Vedder’s iconic voice. I don’t love this album but it’s still really good.
In Utero is regarded by many as Nirvana’s masterpiece but I prefer Nevermind
Siamese Dream is my all time favorite album so definitely listen to that..
So I guess my top 3 from that list in terms of importance and my personal preference would be Siamese Dream, The Wall and Zep II

7. Arcade Fire - Funeral
8. Led Zepplin - Led Zepplin IV
10. Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here
15. The Clash - London Calling
20. Bob Dylan - Highway 61 Revisited
21. The Smiths - The Queen Is Dead
23. Pink Floyd - The Wall
27. The Who - Who's Next
28. Bob Dylan - Blonde On Blonde
30. The Rolling Stones - Exile On Main St.
I don't think I'll ever listen to these albums except for London Calling, because I've heard songs off of all of them. In some cases it's like "oh, I really do not like this", like with Bob Dylan. I get nothing from his lyrics, do not like his voice, and am not interested in the music that surrounds all that. And this isn't meant to be a knock on the music at all, I think it's totally justified in having the status it does. But it does not interest me and I don't see any reason to check off the box just to say that I did. And some of these I even like the songs I've heard, like I can hear a song from Rolling Stones or Led Zepplin and be like "hey that's cool" and then maybe even hear a 2nd one after that, but if I hear a third after that? By that point, I'd rather hear a song from someone else. I'm totally fine with all of this, except The Clash seem cool, I should give that one a spin.

Neither are terribly long either, you could be done with both in an ~hour. Bombastic stuff, and undeniably cool driving music (well, not in traffic anyway). |
y'know, i've never really thought too much about it, but i was never a big fan of their comedy act and haven't given their music much of a chance. wait, what, different stooges? i honestly think the name has turned me off to them. what an odd bias. i will queue this stooges up.

It used to be that collecting vinyl and CD’s and displaying your collection was an expression of your taste, but in the age of streaming, where everything is available, exclusion might be a better indicator.
Like... “Hey, check out my collection of things I don’t like”!
I still feel the overwhelming urge to explore everything, though, but feel somewhat relieved when I can rule it out.
Still, there are albums that I flat out seem to avoid, or can’t get through even when I try. They tend to to be Rap/Hip-Hop, certain kinds of Indie Rock, and any Metal album with ghoulish devil-worshipping album art. I’d like to think it has more to do with taste than prejudice.

I have a pretty in depth knowledge of a very narrow slice of the music scene, so there's going to be a lot of stuff that I haven't listened to. The top 10 I haven't listened to are
1. OK Computer
5. Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
6. Kid A
8. Led Zeppelin IV
10. Nevermind
11. Wish You Were Here
12. The Beatles (The White Album)
13. In Rainbows
14. Pet Sounds
15. London Calling
Yikes, only 5 of the top 15. Looks like I've got some work to do.
